Heartaches Pilot 12 : Oh Unkind Fate

Roxy: "But you don't understand, Shan! Curlyfuzz has never been out on his own before! He needs love and the warmth of human kindness!"Dissolve to Doggy Divorce Court in the seedier part of town. We hear a gavel smash down hard on wood. Judge V.O. "Court is in session"Spaz the Bulldog addresses the court: "Your honor, I'm afraid this marriage is a sham.""Lord knows, we tried to make it work, but the love is gone. Oh Lord, it's gone away."The judge listens carefully. "Hmmm."Spaz: "It' ain't that he's not a good woman. It's that he's too good. For me, anyway."He's an uptown dame, used to leisure and comfort. I just can't provide him with the upscale lifestyle she deserves."Judge: "Hmmm. one a them sissy dames is he?""Divorce granted. You may kick the bride."Spaz: "I'm sorry, baby. It just wasn't meant to be. Be strong now."Spaz gently takes his frail ex by the tail and turns to take aim for a good final boot.He gives him the official divorce boot and Curly sails past the ghostly crowd of gawkers whose eternal joy is to lap up the misery of others.Curly flies out of the courtroom and lands smack down on the cold cruel ground outside.

Hey John... not sure if you knew about this, but if not, sorry to break the news, but apparently there will be new "3D" Roadrunner shorts AND a Looney Tunes sitcom where Bugs and Daffy are neighbors. I wish I were making this up.

Hey John. I had a class project on designing a magazine, and I made you into a featured article. Maybe I'm being too hopeful on the state of things, but you can view it here: http://milkysketchbook.blogspot.com/2010/05/panel-magazine-layout-final.html

Judge oughta be a Black chick. Actually, every judge portrayed in every American movie for the last 20 years has been a soul sista. Not complaining, just noticing. It's the code of the Hollywood hills...

Ah, I just put my finger on the Fuzzy Dog's character design--there's this old bugs bunny cartoon with a dog that looks exactly like it. A majority takes place under water, as I recall (the judge is also a striking resemblence of Droopy, though I'm sure that's intentional).
